It breaks my heart to say this, but this month, my second manga home, Manga Kissa 10 is closing its doors. No more maids. No more mangas.
Because of this, they are selling all of their mangas for the price of P50/tankoubon. Despite this, you can only buy the entire set of mangas and not by piece. If you buy a series with more than 30 volumes in it, you get a 20% discount. When I visited Kissa 10, a good number of the good mangas were already disappearing. Some of my favorites were still there, but Touch and Master Keaton were no longer there. I managed to get some but I had to stay within a particular budget. If only I can save all the mangas there, I would. ;A; So many mangas all gone.
I’ve had lots of great memories with Kissa10 and I really wished the cafe would last a longer. But life in this island is very difficult, and more often than not, people would rather spend their 500 pesos in a restaurant than in a manga shop where they can only read. I will miss Kissa 10 greatly. This would only mean losing access to some really great mangas.
The shop will no longer be in operation starting this week, but they are still open just so that people can buy the mangas off their shelves. Manga Kissa 10 will be open until June 30, from noon to 8 p.m. Their mangas are already P20-P30 per piece… so enjoy… those who can still enjoy it.
Today’s Kissa10’s last day so hopefully you guys got what you wanted. I think you can get the manager’s number and still get some titles that you want… I’ll post it here for edit, if ever…
@usagijen, yeah, it could have been unbearably difficult to actually drag all those mangas. I brought a car to lug mine. OTL. It took two people to carry them all. ;A; But oh so worth it.
I believe the crazy obaasans got the Skip Beat. I never saw TCP there though.
I just found out about Kissa10 last week, and at this time when it’s already closing orz. That said, I visited the shop yesterday for the first time, and I was mesmerized… I bought the entire set of Saikano and Basara, and a couple of Greenwood volumes (so imagine the pain I have to go through to carry all those stuff during my commute).
I actually wonder if they had Tokyo Crazy Paradise or Skip Beat, or was it bought by someone else, coz I would’ve bought that instead of Basara if they had those around *__*
I asked the counter lady (or manager?) and she said the reason why they’re closing down is because their contract in the Philippines has ended. I asked them if they have any plans of opening somewhere else and she told me they’re working on it. So hopefully we’ll see it reopen!
You can still drop by if you guys want and clear out the mangas as well. Their last day is on the 30th. I hope no one bought all their mornings yet. I need a particular issue.
Waaah! We’re planning to drop by tomorrow but if they’re about to close… 🙁 🙁 🙁
I am so glad I visited Manga Kissa during the summer. Apparently, it would be the first and last time I visited the place. (I only went there twice. T_T)
It’s too bad that they have to close. D:
